“Get Wel Norma”
Photo by Sasha Grey, an existential strumpet.  She is also an anthropologist.  I think the photo documents a ritual mourning. Something about the decline of “norma[lity]”.

“Portable Shadow Box Sacrifice”

The people of this region left a portable shadow box, or a miniature theatre artifice, at the foot of a tree.  I’m guessing it’s a sacrifice.  To which god I’m not sure.  Probably Glenn Beck. “Portable Shadow Box Sacrifice”

“Yellow Horse Totem”

Clearly a collection of totems for scaring children.  The cigarette butts — these fecal-like paper sticks — adds a noxious aroma.  This is a sacred space at midnight.  Food is served near by. “Yellow Horse Totem”
